Earlier this year I decided to try building my first wooden boat kit. I looked through some options and decided to go with the Lowell Grand Banks Dory from Model Shipways/Model Expo. But of course I had to keep it TV/movie-themed, so I converted it to the boat we see near the beginning of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie as our introduction to Captain Jack Sparrow. The dory kit was great - definitely worth checking out for anyone willing to give it a try - and I had a lot of help referencing the rigging. A full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Great job transforming this, very clean work on it!

That turned out great, nice work on it!

That looks great, nicely done!

Very clean work, that looks great!

They were intentionally left off; when I was looking around at other tracked theme park vehicles it seemed like most all of them had no mirrors. Probably one less thing for Park guests to accidentally break.

Thanks!

Impressive work on this!

I always liked these, nice work on it!

Definitely way beyond their old kits. That looks great!

I'd say it was worth the effort, then, because this turned out great!

Very cool! I built one of these a while back, but my kit was one of Gunze-Sangyo's repops without the engine.

That turned out great, nice work!

It's great to see one of these, nice work!

Awesome job on this, it turned out great!
